Merantau

THIS EVENT IS ARCHIVED

Telling the story of a young man from Sumatra who travels to Jakarta on the traditional merantau, or wandering, the film combines explosive action and stunning choreography while telling the story of a young man's fight against the seedy underbelly of Jakarta.

The film will be preceded by a short talk from the SOAS Pencak Silat society on the martial arts featured in the movie.
